Gatlinburg is a year-round tourist destination in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains. More than 11,000 accommodation options are available in Gatlinburg and the surrounding area, including cabins, chalets and mountain condominiums. For under a $100 a night (as of January 2011), you can find a range of properties from rustic, authentic cabins with few amenities to modern cabins with fully equipped kitchens, private outdoor hot tubs and mountain views.

Step 1

Check cabin rental listings on MountainChalets.com. Search for cabins by amenity, location, or number of bedrooms, and then organize the results by price to see the lowest-priced options first.

Step 2

Go to CabinsForYou.com, another cabin rental database for the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area, and choose "Cabins Under $100" from the menu on the left side of the main website under "Cabin Rental Search."

Step 3

Search for cabin rentals on GatlinburgCabinsOnline.com. The majority of rentals cost over $100 a night according to regular rates, but Gatlinburg Cabins Online often offers lower rates for mid-week stays, discounts for longer bookings and special seasonal discounts which can reduce rates to under $100 a night.

Step 4

Visit Gatlinburg.com, click on "Deals and Packages" and choose "Lodging" from the main navigation menu. Budget accommodation options and specials will be listed below, and you're likely to find daily and weekly rental rates under $100 per night.

Under "Lodging," you will also find alphabetical listings of cabin rental companies and privately owned cabins. If you don't find what you're looking for via online search, contact companies and owners listed to inquire about the availability and rates of cabin rentals.

Tip

To get the best rates, consider a mid-week stay and avoid travel during holidays and school vacations. Gatlinburg cabins are priced cheaper between November and mid-March.

Warning

Not all cabins are pet-friendly. If you're looking for a pet-friendly cabin, choose this option as an amenity during your search and confirm specific pet policies with the cabin owner or rental company before booking. A refundable deposit or non-refundable pet fee may be required.
